It has probably saved us close to $2k. Having a friend who can check the loads accurately and precisely for you is the key.

Parents do get Southwest privileges and maybe a couple other random LCCs.. my retired parents use the southwest bennie regularly with ease…
as far as my wife and kids? DL and WN credit cards in combination with our miles from commerical deadheads racks up 100s of thousand of miles/points a year. Positive space booked tickets in our shorts and flip flops.. I would never subject the family to the stress of space available travel again!

It would be nice if folks could answer questions on this topic without “travel shaming” the questioner! I know, we make a lot of money and can afford a lot of things. But we decide what to spend our money on, and there’s no need to impose our spending decisions on others that are just looking for knowledge.
Stepping down from soapbox now 😀

It's a share the pain with seniority not meaning so much system. Yes, it's always better to be senior than junior, but once you get to the basics of the lines, there's not a world of difference between lines of similar types ie Europe, pac rim, round the world. Mostly, what day do you want to start. A good trip and a bad trip for all, vs two goods for the senior guy and two bads for the junior.
